🍎 We had some special guests visit the Capitol this week! I was thrilled to welcome Maryland’s 24 Teachers of the Year to Washington, including Ms. Sanderson, Ms. Glascock, and Ms. Pretzello, who were named Teachers of the Year for Anne Arundel, Howard, and Carroll Counties!

Now in 2026, Congress must work to restore meaningful worker protections and checks on the Executive to not only protect our federal workers, but the critical services they provide to the American people.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 5(source)

We outlawed the spoils system in 1883 because Congress recognized that a professional, merit-based civil service actually serves the American people best.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 5(source)

317,000 federal workers already lost their jobs during the first year of the Trump Administration because of DOGE's sledgehammer and other reckless cuts. Our civil servants are not political pawns.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 5(source)

Remember Project 2025? Well the Trump Administration just finalized a rule that would allow the firing of nearly 50,000 federal workers by changing their status to that of political appointees who can lose their jobs at will. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

We are also working together on a variety of legislation to make our communities safer, including a bill to prevent domestic homicides. Stay tuned for more.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

We discussed priorities for our local law enforcement officers, including collective bargaining rights as well as housing assistance and child care for first responders.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

This week, I sat down with officers & representatives from lodges across Maryland – including Lodge President and Maryland National Trustee Sherrice Carpenter and members of #MD03’s Anne Arundel County Lodge #70.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

Since 1967, the Maryland Fraternal Order of Police has been a voice for our retired and active first responders – serving more than 21,000 law enforcement officers across the state today.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

We cannot allow ICE to continue expanding its operations and putting our neighbors at risk without accountability. Be sure to tune in tonight for more.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

That’s why I’ll be speaking at tonight’s Howard County Council Public Hearing in support of Howard County Executive Calvin Ball’s legislation to prohibit privately owned buildings from operating as detention centers within county lines.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

UPDATE: Thanks to YOUR advocacy and the hard work of local leaders, the permit for the proposed immigration detention facility in Elkridge has been revoked. The fight is not over yet – there’s still work to ensure other facilities don’t pop up in our communities.

Hundreds rally against ICE detention center in Elkridge as Howard officials prep emergency legislation

Howard County Executive announced Monday that the county had revoked a building permit for an ICE detention facility in Elkridge.

Since a tie means that legislation doesn't move forward, this is a tight, one-seat majority for Speaker Johnson.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 4(source)

Some good news: after nearly 11 months without a voice in Congress, the people of Texas’ 18th District now have @cdmenefee.bsky.social sworn in and working on their behalf! This means that the House of Representatives is now made up of 214 Democrats and 218 Republicans. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 3(source)

I sat down with the Chamber’s President, Julia Howes, the Howard County Chamber, and business leaders from across Maryland to discuss inflation, hear about the impact of tariffs, and share some good news from Washington: the bipartisan Combating Organized Retail Crime Act is moving in the House!

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 3(source)

I wrapped up January and our first District Work Week of the year with partners at the Maryland Association of Chamber of Commerce Executive Conference!

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 3(source)

I've signed on to articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem, and this afternoon, I voted NO once again on funding for ICE. Stay tuned for more.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 3(source)

Today, I joined my House Democratic colleagues in front of ICE headquarters to stand in solidarity with the tens of thousands of peaceful protestors across the country who are demanding an end to the weaponization of ICE in our communities.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 3(source)

Today, I once again voted against funding for ICE that didn’t include any real accountability or reform. I am deeply disappointed that Republicans’ dysfunction has combined DHS funding with this larger package. Please see below for my full statement.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govFeb 2(source)

#TeamMaryland requires us to work together at every level of government, and we are committed to showing up and playing our part.
